    Signed up for the May Connemara challenge, if that goes ok, hoping to signup for GaelForce in August.

    Anyone got any recommendations on trail runners.
    I've heard of Solomans & Innov8, but from this page I can see Nike, Adidas & Asics all do some as well.

    Anyone able to advise on a good shop in Ireland to purchase from?
    Am Galway based so if there's a good stockist here in the west, that would help.

    I am in the same boat and I am going to Dublin this weekend so will be looking at 53degrees north and a few other places, will probably go for the Salomon.
    Exposure in castlebar have a decent range on the Solomon and they have a website :

    Greatoutdoors in Galway might be worth a look.

    I have also seen some of the Asics and northface in both Elverys headford rd and in Lifestyle . very random sizes and ranges, you might see them one day and nothing the next .


    Got this link from IMRA website , good guys on there for advice also.

    Folks anyone ever run Gaelforce west in barefoot trail runners? Done the event a couple of times but contemplating changing to barefoot shoes this time, use them all the time now but not sure about this event.

    Ah runners are a personal choice.
    Whats putting you off if you are running in them already?
    I dont know the brand but Ive "ran" Croagh Patrick in Brooks road runners...
